Default Using a car canopy/cover in Calgary

My parents don't have a garage so I was contemplating buying them a car canopy for their two car port (in the back yard) this winter. Crappy Tire has a sale on a double for $299 -- anyone ever use something like this? Will it last more than one Calgary winter before collapsing (or blowing away?!?)

Apparently it's a 2" steel tube frame, which seems pretty sturdy (assuming it's been put together properly and staked down). However, I can easily see the tarp cracking and/or wearing out after a couple of years (like my BBQ cover).
